Year 3

Autumn Term Update

During this term, we have worked really hard whilst ensuring that we keep enjoying our learning.

Our English work this term has been focused on dragons. First, we learnt a story about a dragon called Smok and a cobbler called Krak and used it to help us write our own defeating the monster stories. After that, we found out about a dragon that had been spotted in the local area. We wrote a set of instructions for Miss Tester to trap the dragon. This was a success and the dragon has been sent to a zoo in Uzbekistan.

In Maths, we have learnt a new way to add 3 digit numbers – column addition. The children have worked really hard and are rightly proud of how well they have picked up this new skill.

Our Geography topic has been all about Europe. We have compared how our European neighbours live and are currently creating a fact file about European countries.

It’s been an excellent term.

It’s been an excellent term and we are now excitedly preparing for Christmas. On that note, we wish everyone a wonderful festive season and a very prosperous new year.

The Year 3 Team

Welcome to Year 3

We hope you all had a happy and relaxing summer. We are so excited about what this year will bring for our children. We have lots of exciting things planned including school trips, a variety of interesting topics and additional activities such as swimming.

Your children have made an amazing start to the year and are working really hard in lessons whilst having a great time. During our first week we did made spaghetti and marshmallow towers. The children had a great time and show that they are excellent team players.

In English we are reading and writing stories about heroes and monsters. In maths we are working with numbers from 1 – 1000.

Our first afternoon activity is Plants and the children are currently investigating what happens to plants if we deprive them of things such as water and light.

As always, if you have any concerns or questions, please feel free to catch a member of the year 3 team at any time, we are always happy to help.
